Kumasi Asante Kotoko shot stopper Eric Ofori Antwi has expressed his
delight for emerging as GHALCA six tournament’s best goalkeeper when he
guided the porcupine warriors to emerge as victors of the four day
tournament held at the Sekondi Essipong stadium.
The agile goalkeeper who mannered Kotoko’s goalpost in all three games,
kept one clean sheet and conceded two goals was adjudged the best
goalkeeper of the mini-tournament due to his crucial saves he did most
especially in their final game against Aduana Stars. He saved Godfred
Saka’s crucial penalty at the early stages of the game which ensured his
side would not concede a goal against the Dormaa Ahenkro based side.
Eric Ofori Antwi, the former Black Satellites grovesman who emerged
as the best goalkeeper of the U Trust G6 tournament in an exclusive
interview with News Hunter said he is not relenting on his effort and he
is eager to keep his position as the number one goalie for the
Ghanaian giants. “I’m very happy and proud of my achievement. This award
is meant to motivate me to work hard in order to keep my form.I wouldnt
be swollen headed. I always want to keep the post and this comes only
through hardwork”.
He used this platform to thank all his fans and asked for their
prayers and ardent support. “I thank all my fans who have supported me
to this far through their prayers and pieces of advice. I still need
their support and prayers”. He was presented with LCD TV as his prize.
Asante Kotoko’s en route to the final beat Berekum Chelsea by 3
goals to 1 and managed a 1:1 draw with their regional rivals
Ashantigold. Aduana Stars on the other hand drew goaless with Accra
Hearts of Oak and whitewashed Medeama by 3 goals to nill to book their
ticket to the final.The fiercely contested final saw the porcupine
warriors pipped the Ogya boys by a goal to zero with Halipha Sadogo
getting the only goal through spot kick.
